For the full network, Ea T'Ling and Adado both became more connected from 1975 through 1976-1990, then grew more sprawly from 1976-1990 onwards, while Jiaowei grew more disconnected from 1975 through 1976-1990, then improved. Notably, Ea T'Ling had a more sprawly network than Jiaowei in 1975 but the two have since reversed their relative ranking.
